Leigh Holmwood, The Guardian, 14th September 2009It's right to love 'The Office', but foolish to revere
The longer you look at it, the more it looks like a work of art. It touches something universal and true about human behaviour in the life-sapping confines of the workplace. Where will it all end, though? The Office was first broadcast in the summer of 2001. We haven't reached the 10th anniversary yet and already the BBC is rolling out the red carpet.
Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, 29th August 2009Reeves criticises BBC over 'Hope Springs'
Former Cutting It star Sian Reeves has claimed that the BBC failed to support her recent drama series Hope Springs.
Daniel Kilkelly, Digital Spy, 25th August 2009Interview: We Are Klang's Steve Hall
"I'd describe We Are Klang as feelgood fuckwittery. We're joytards. A review of us in Australia called us 'visually pitiful genius fools' which is possibly my favourite ever description of us."
Barry Donovan, Den Of Geek, 14th August 2009Psychoville episode seven: Ravenhill
It seems almost all of us who've watched Psychoville have really enjoyed the series. There's much to be said for anything that can frame its decisive moment of murder and high tension with a song from Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat. The costumes, dialogue, locations and, to an extent, the plotting were pitch perfect. No other British comedy has been as enjoyable this year.
Will Dean, The Guardian, 31st July 2009For Jason Byrne, disaster is never far away
Energetic Irish stand-up Jason Byrne is back with a new series of his Radio 2 show, and he took a moment to tell us about how events in his own life provide him with even the most unlikely material he could wish for.
David Thair, BBC Comedy, 22nd July 2009Will the BBC ever work out what to do with Norton?
Since arriving at the BBC on a huge salary in 2005, Graham Norton has staggered from one dud show to the next. What does this tell us about him - and his employers?
Stuart Jeffries, The Guardian, 17th July 2009The Final Word: For some, even 15 minutes would be too
An article about the release of the third QI book, Advanced Banter, being published in the United States. The American version is entitled If Ignorance Is Bliss, Why Aren't There More Happy People?
Craig Wilson, USA Today, 15th July 2009War is hell, even if it's a comedy drama
From a chance conversation 10 years ago with Jon Plowman (then head of comedy at the BBC) about what happens behind the scenes in television news, the idea for Taking the Flak was born: a comedy drama about journalists in war zones behaving badly.
Broadcast, 25th June 2009A message from Steve Pemberton
The Twitter reviews were largely very good, though I have to take issue with the critics who dismissed it as 'banal' or 'lacking in plot'. Whatever you think of Psychoville, I'm pretty sure it isn't bland or storyless. But you have to take the good, bad and indifferent reviews in the same spirit I suppose.
Steve Pemberton, BBC Comedy, 23rd June 2009
